32mo. xiii, 102, (2)pp + 22 plates, some fold-out. Hand-colored frontispiece. An impressive manual for students of paper-cutting, published slightly before Friedrich Froebel would enfranchise the practice as one of his "gifts" to teach kindergarteners basic principles of design and spatial thinking. Blasche's termed competing paradigm "Nature Education." The examples here include a thatched house, a German stove, a tower (as depicted as the frontispiece), and a windmill. Bound in blue paper over boards with illustrated paper label. Some overall rubbing especially to extremities, but tissue guard at title page still in place and binding quite sound. Very good.
